Former Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker said in a recent interview that “serious questions” are being raised about the events leading up to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s apparent suicide while calling for “full transparency” over the probe into the millionaire financier’s death.

“Well the transparency is the key. That’s what builds confidence for the American people. If you don’t give all of the facts—essentially line by line as to what we looked into, who we talked to, what we found, what we saw, what was violated if anything ... the facts—the confidence won’t be there,” Whitaker told Fox & Friends in an appearance on Aug. 12.
